About These Birds

Enggano Cuckoo-Dove

Slender cuckoo-dove, 32–35 cm, uniform warm cinnamon-rufous with minimal barring and a relatively short tail. Restricted to Enggano Island off the southwestern coast of Sumatra. Inhabits dense lowland forest. Frugivore. Vulnerable due to extremely small range and ongoing forest loss on the island.

Ashy-headed Green-pigeon

Medium green-pigeon, 26–29 cm; male has an ashy-grey head and green body with yellow-tinged underparts; female is plain green. Found in deciduous and semi-evergreen forest from Assam (India) through Myanmar to Thailand and Vietnam. Frugivore of figs and forest fruits. Least Concern.
